Kukapalli Mohan Rao vs State Of A.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of the deceased, rejecting the defense's arguments regarding the credibility of eyewitnesses and the delay in FIR registration. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented by PWs 2 and 3, despite being interest witnesses, was corroborated by other circumstantial evidence, including the recovery of the murder weapon. The Court affirmed the lower courts' findings, stating that the prosecution had sufficiently established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt.
